LAST EVENINGS FIRE

In the Attic of an Italian Tenement
 House-In the Secondhand Boot and Shoe Quarter of Oak Street.
 The fire bells struck box IS last evening. The fire was in an attic bedroom in a house occupied by Italians on Oak street near Broad. A small hole was burned in the roof. No. threw water on the fire Nos. 3, 3 and and hook and ladder responded, but their work was not needed. The fremen found it the hottest run of the season, especially those members who had long run in responding. There was great excitement for few minutes among the Italians, large number of whom live on Oak street near the scene of the fire, and the proprietors of the secondhand boot and shoe stores had their eyes open to pro- tect their stock of goods exposed for sale from being raided upon by thieves. There are four secondhand boot and shoe stores, or rather shops where cobbling is done, on Oak street between Broad street and Congress av- enue. Old cast away boots and shoes which are not wholly wrecked are picked up about town and mended and given a vigorous pol ishing and then exposed for sale outside the shops. A small price is also paid for boots and shoes which are worth repairing. The dealers turn an honest penny by their indus try, as they find impecunious customers enough who want to buy their goods.

HYATT APPOINTED.
The President Finally Selects Him as United States Treasurer to Succeed 

The President Finally Selects Him as
 United States Treasurer to Succeed
 Jordan.
 WASHINGTON, May 1.-The President to- day appointed James W. Hyatt, ot Connecti- cut to be treasurer of the United States to succeed Conrad N. Jordan, resigned A $1OO, 900 bond is required. MT. Hyatt re- turned from Washington Tuesday, whither he went accompanied by ex-Senator Barnum. MT. Barnum will probably be one of the bondsmen.
 MT. Hyatt is a native of Norwalk and is forty nine years old. He was appointed bank commissioner by Governor Ingersoll in 1876 to fill a vacancy and continued in the office by successive reappointments under Governors Hubbard, Andrews, Bigelow and Waller. For the last appointment he was obliged to resign the State senatorship from the Thirteenth district, Governor Waller re- fusing to appoint him until this was done. He recently retired to take the place of na- tional bank examiner as successor to MT. Mygatt. As United States treasurer he will succeed Mir. Conrad N. Jordan. When first appointed bank examiner he was associated with the late MT. Faxon. His successive re appointments were due directly to the excel lence of his service and his continuation in office was favored by both parties. He is 8 Democrat and a friend of MT. William Fl. Barnum. His appointment as treasurer is said to have been strongly urged by MT. Bar mum, the Hon. Roswell P Flower of New York, and many New York men prominent in financial matters.
 In earlier life MT. Hyatt was a clerk in the office of LeGrand Lockwood & Co. in New York. He represented Norwalk in the legis- lature in 1875 and 1876 and in 1878 was chosen vice-president of the Danbury & Norwalk railroad and so continued until 1881, when he was made president, continu- ing two years.
 The treasurer of the United States, now ex-Senator Hyatt, receives salary of $6, 800 a year. As bank examiner MT. Hyatt re- ceived $5 day of work and $2 for every twenty-five miles travelled. Some of his friends say he ought to have remained bank examiner for life rather than treasurer of the United States for a term. His Norwalk friends will tender him banquet soon.
